Die Ungleichheit der monatlichen Bruttoerwerbseinkommen der Beschäftigten in Deutschland ist laut Sozio-oekonomischem Panel (SOEP) zwischen 1993 und 2003 signifikant gestiegen und stagniert seit 2008 auf relativ hohem Niveau. Wie dieser Bericht zeigt, liegt der Anstieg weniger an einer höheren Ungleichheit der Stundenlöhne, sondern daran, dass diese zunehmend mit der Arbeitszeit korrelieren: Beschäftigte ...
In this article, we provide the results of a simple quantitative analysis of the potential remedies to reduce the supply gap in Germany that arises if Russia stops delivering natural gas. We take into account the supply potential of other suppliers, and combine this with an analysis of the additional supply potential by stopping electricity generation from natural gas. Moreover, we investigate the ...
The use of green hydrogen can support the decarbonization of sectors which are difficult to electrify, such as industry or heavy transport. Yet, the wider power sector effects of providing green hydrogen are not well understood so far. We use an open-source electricity sector model to investigate potential power sector interactions of three alternative supply chains for green hydrogen in Germany in ...
The current governance process to plan the German energy system omits two options to substitute grid expansion: First, placing renewables closer to demand instead of where site conditions are best. Second, utilizing storage instead of additional transmission infrastructure to prevent grid congestion. In the paper, we apply a comprehensive capacity expansion model based on the AnyMOD modeling framework ...
